Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-02-02 13:50:48 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/74860

"Clicking on "save" at the top of the email opens the save dialog. Then the user will choose a folder to save the file into. The attachment will be saved and any existing files will be overwritten without telling the user so.

This is an edgy here

additional info:

this only happens when you click the top "save" or "save all" button. If you save the files 1 by 1, then the warning appears alright."

I have the same bug with Evolution 2.10.1 and Ubuntu 7.04.

If I click on the "save" button, an existing file of the same name is overwritten without any warning.

Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2008-10-30 13:46:23 UTC
